About the Port

While in use since 1851, the Port of Redwood City was founded by City Charter in 1937. The Port serves Silicon Valley as the only deep-water port in the San Francisco Bay. It specializes in bulk, neo-bulk and liquid cargoes. The Port of Redwood City has become the “fastest growing ‘small’ bulk port in California.”

The Port has more than one mile of waterfront public access, walkways and viewing areas.
